Chapter 225: Standing on the Side of the Crowd (Asking for Subscription)

Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

Out of the makeup trailer, Matthew and Keira Knightley originally wanted to take advantage of Johnny Depp's opportunity to attract reporters and sneak away quickly, but Disneyland was holding a carnival, and there were too many reporters nearby, and they were blocked by reporters and paparazzi before they could get to the place where they could get on the bus.

"Matthew Horner, Keira Knightley!"

A reporter asked aloud, "There has been news that you are in a relationship, is it true?"

This is not in the plan made by the crew and the agent, of course Matthew will not admit it, but he did not deny it, and he wants to leave after the reporters.

Another reporter turned to Keira Knightley, "Miss Knightley, what do you think of the criticism of your role in previous films, saying that you were stiff and expressionless?"

"What?" said Keira Knightley's eyes widened.

Matthew had been with Keira Knightley for a long time and knew her a little well, so he quickly pulled Keira Knightley by the hand.

Reminded by him, Keira Knightley's head, which was not very dizzy, instantly came to her senses and said, "I've been making movies for the past few years, spending all my time changing people. If you can see the world and depict characters in this way, your character will keep changing. I guess that's what I'm aiming for. ”

The reporter didn't give up, and asked, "What do you think of the bad reviews of some film critics?"

"I won't read their articles. Keira Knightley looked at Matthew, "A friend like Matthew is better suited to judge me." ”

Hearing this, the reporter immediately turned his attention and opened fire on Matthew again, "Matthew, can you tell us about your relationship with Miss Keira Knightley?"

Matthew took Keira Knightley to the car, saying as he went, "Kayla is a great actress and a great friend......

He rambled on a bunch of unnutritious nonsense, then approached the car and, with the help of the driver, shoved Keira Knightley into the back seat of the car, then broke through the reporters' siege and got inside.

"Go, go, go!"

Even though she wasn't in the car, Keira Knightley urged, "Hurry up!"

The speed of the car was always not fast, and it took a long time to get out of the area where Disneyland was located, Matthew glanced back, and there were still paparazzi on motorcycles following him, and even more excessively, there were two paparazzi in a car came to the side of the car, and the people in the back seat picked up the camera and took pictures against the window.

Keira Knightley grimaced over there, "That's nasty!"

Matthew reminded, "They can't get a picture of what's inside." ”

The windows are covered with a special car film, and you can only vaguely see the figures inside from the outside, and you can't take pictures of the specific situation at all.

Probably the paparazzi also found out about this, and quickly left the side of the car, but they still followed not far away, and Matthew also knew that he had an affair with Keira Knightley before being forcibly rumored by the tabloids, and now "Pirates of the Caribbean" has entered the promotion period again, and the attraction of the two to the media and fans has also increased, and the paparazzi will definitely follow home.

"Kayla, where are you going?" asked Matthew.

"Let's go to the hotel. Keira Knightley also glanced back, and then asked Matthew, "Will Depp be in trouble if he offends Michael Eisner?"

Matthew thought for a moment and said, "This depends on whether Pirates of the Caribbean can succeed." ”

Keira Knightley looked at him, "Huh?"

Matthew explained, "If the film is a big success, what's the little thing? When the sequel is filmed in the future, Disney will beg Depp to play the sequel." If the film fails, Disney will lose a lot, and Michael Eisner may be able to settle the score. ”

He added, "The same applies to both of us." ”

Keira Knightley suddenly asked, "Do you think the film will be a success?"

"You'd better wish it success. Matthew said seriously, "If "Pirates of the Caribbean" fails, Depp can continue to be his Hollywood geek, Tim Burton will continue to use him, and the two of us ......"

He shook his head, "It's going to be over." ”

The two discussed the situation of the movie until the car stopped in front of the hotel where Keira Knightley was staying.

Before getting out of the car, Keira Knightley said, "I'm going to have my eighteenth birthday next week." ”

Matthew nodded knowingly, "We're going to be boyfriend and girlfriend." ”

Keira Knightley was not at all polite to Matthew and asked, "Have you thought of a gift for me?"

"What do you think......" Matthew said with a deliberately long note, "how am I?"

"Forget it. Keira Knightley opened the car door, "I'm going to hire someone to throw it in the garbage, it's not worth it." ”

She got out of the car and walked towards the hotel turnstile without looking back.

Matthew watched Keira Knightley enter the hotel before letting the driver drive away, and the car drove towards Burbank, where he took Keira Knightley's words into account.

According to last year's agreement, after Keira Knightley turns eighteen, the crew will choose a suitable time to disclose the so-called relationship between the two, and win attention by hyping up scandals, so as to achieve the effect that the actor and the film are greater than 2 1+1.

For the sake of this publicity, he has been completely empty in the past few months, and even Rachel McAdams has declined a secret date.

It's not that he's afraid of being photographed by reporters, and if he does it secretly enough to avoid reporters and paparazzi, he's just one of many stars in Los Angeles who are like grains of sand.

On the contrary, Matthew worries Rachel McAdams herself, who has fully realized that the naΓ―ve Rachel McAdams disappeared without a trace two years ago and has been replaced by a mature Rachel McAdams who is hell-bent on climbing up.

As long as it's profitable, it's no surprise that Rachel McAdams sold him.

It doesn't matter at other times, there will undoubtedly be a lot of trouble at this particular time, and the agreement he signed with Keira Knightley has a clause that will require up to $3 million in liquidated damages.

While Rachel McAdams is highly skilled and he enjoys it immensely, that enjoyment is definitely not worth the loss of three million dollars.

In the days that followed, Matthew spent the next few days trying to build momentum for Pirates of the Caribbean in line with Disney Studios' promotional plan.

Although there are still a few months before the film's North American release date, and even the start of the summer season is still more than a month, the battle for the promotion of this year's Hollywood commercial blockbusters began as early as the Super Bowl in early February, and Hollywood studios are smashing publicity for their main super productions this year.

For example, Warner Bros., the posters, advertisements and promotional videos of "Empire on Black Background 2: Reloaded" are almost overwhelming.

Matthew met Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron at Johnny Depp's bar again, unlike the last time they met, Charlize Theron was fat more than twice, and his eyebrows were all shaved, and it was not enough to describe it with a ruined image.

From Keanu Reeves's mouth, he learned that Charlize Theron was preparing for the filming of a movie called "The Devil Woman", which was tailor-made for the Oscar for Best Actress.

Matthew saw Charlize Theron working so hard for the Oscar statuette, not only was he moved, but he had palpitations, if it was him, in order to win an Oscar trophy, ruining his image, is it worth it?

He shook his head firmly in his heart, just think about such a terrible thing, if you really want to do it, forget it.

When he came to the United States, Matthew's biggest capital was his extremely good body.

And strictly speaking, mainstream Hollywood films are divided into two categories, one is a commercial film for the general public, and the other is a special award film for the old men and critics of the academy and a small group of fans, the former takes care of the tastes of the majority of the audience as much as possible, and the latter is tailored for the Oscars, that is, the old men of the academy.

In Matthew's mind, a film tailored for the Oscars is not necessarily more advanced than a film for the general public.

Having said that, after his understanding in the past few years, he has also seen what 99% of award-winning films really look like, to take care of the tastes of middle-aged and elderly white judges, to reflect Hollywood-style political correctness, to play abnormal roles as much as possible, actors with good appearance conditions to ruin their own image, and to spend a lot of money to do public relations......

How much does the typical characteristics of these films have to do with art? In essence, like commercial films, they are all about catering to the preferences of a group.

Although a large number of people may not have the right to speak, Matthew feels that the side with more people will definitely contribute more to the box office, and the income he can get will be correspondingly much more, so he will definitely stand on the side of the more people.

As for the Oscar for Best Actor, it is not Matthew narcissism, with his appearance, coupled with today's average level of acting skills and the type of famous films, if you really want to pursue the Oscars, the future road may be more difficult than Xiao Lizi.

It is said that later, Xiao Lizi and shredded meat were added together, and they could re-sink a Titanic, did he have to change like that?

Therefore, forget it, the Oscar statuette or something, just let it be.

Maybe one day, the old men of the film school will have a cramp in their heads, and let him take an Oscar statuette with an action movie?

Anyway, those old men have more cramps, otherwise where would they get so many Oscar Water Queens and Water Emperors.

Of course, these are Matthew's own whims, and he knows that this is very unlikely, and throughout the history of Hollywood, how many actors have won acting awards for their leading roles in action movies?

He is still flying on his own business road safely, and there is nothing wrong with being a commercial film star, at least he will not lack money or beautiful women.
